Entergy Corporation’s shareholders help protect the environment by contributing more that $1 million to 14 partnering organisations through the company’s Environmental Initiatives Fund. These include three programs in the Entergy Arkansas service region.
These grants are Entergy’s 21st consecutive years of allocating funds at this size to support the work and efforts of these important local drivers for environmental progress.

These environmental projects are part of Entergy’s vision of creating long-term sustainable value that benefits all stakeholders.
